The employer is required by law to provide accurate tax documents for themselves and their employees. What it boils down to is that you can call the IRS at 800-829-1040 and have them issue a W-2 complaint to the employer. The IRS will send a letter requiring that they reissue a correct W-2 within 10 days with a penalty for failure to comply. The IRS will also send you a letter and a form 4852 which you fill out with the correct information if the employer still fails to comply. Form 4852 is a substitute for a W-2 used by you to provide necessary tax info. You'd also attach the incorrect W-2 and a notation as to what part is incorrect.
